Tins morning an engagement took place be tween our piquets and those of ,the enemy, who lost two officers =1,31 men taken prisoners." CADIZ, JUNE ft 9.—We have seen a letter from Serranea.de Ronda, dated the 22d inst. which con- Wins many p3rticulars relative to that .noble insur rection. The principal is, that the French in Ronda endeatour to force the Sierra, which the Serranos defended, during the 19th, 20th, and On the first 'day the enemy w e re repulsed. with ;on the second they were likewise repulsed,• in the same manner, with the loss of two field-pieces; two spies were made prisoners, who pretended to be dumb, but being severely treated, were made to speak. Oa the third 'tray, they ssere not only re pulsed, but pursued into the very town of Ronda.' W.. have not yv.t received the .details of the killed, but the Serranians are preparing to attack Ronda. On the 22d the' reinforcements of troops of tile line, winch had been dispatched to Serrania airived at Tatare %o leagues troin Rondez). In Al. ; tisiras and Si. Roque a great number of ,dispersied patriots have again collected together, and win considerably augment the force destined to act in that past. The 'desertion of the enemy in Cas; tie tsequal to what it is in the other provinces. Not a day passes with out some deserter corning in. In the beginning of the present month there has been a desertion of 50 men at one time, who were conducted to Colorico de' Beira. Of a Swiss regiment which was in gar rison'at _Astorga, the greater part has iu like man ner deserted ; some ate going to incorporate them selves with the - di% -ion of Senor MARY and others, to La Puebla, -where the first brigaue of the army of Gallicia,is posted. The new. army of this kingdom is formibg itsolf with a,livity, and the well known enthusiasm of the inhabitants. Yesterday the regiments of Life Guards were re viewed on Wimbledon Common, by his Royal ' Highness the Prince of Wales. They arriVed on the H. ath about eleven o'clock in excellent order. The Queen's regiment of Light, Dragooas kept the gi owl, and the Guards . formed in line, with their right extended to,wards the town of Wimbledon. The military display on this occasion attraeled a nu . morons - corps of Cashionables, who drove to the Common in landaus, barouches, taedems, and other dashing vehicles. .A close line otearriages drew. up in front of the column, with a numerous troop of horsemen. The ladies were elegantly attired, and the arrangements preparatory to the review ftunished a most agreeable coup The Prince arrived about twelve *o'clock in his post chariot. The 'eqnerries and gro nns of his Royal Highness waited on the ground with several fine chargers: The Prince mounted his beautiful grey horse, in a 'Field-Mar shars uniform. The housing of the charger was scarlet, richly ornamented. 'with gold, and ,superb stars embossed in silver. rhe bridle was also adorned with gold trophies, and other elegant devices Gen. Lord Heathfield took the right of the Prince, and Sir David Dundas the left. Tie Dukes of York and Cambridge were also present, 'with a numerous Statf, The evolutions then commenced, the. word of command being given ,by General Baird. The discipline of these fine regiments has long excited admiration : on no occasion have they appeared to more advantage than at this review. Atter wheeling into line, firing their pistols, and a variety of ma-, nceuvres, concluded with astonishing rapidity, pre cision, and firmness, they made one grand charge, and halted; Lord Heaihtield then rode in front Of the line, and .the whole gave a grand salute, which the Prince returned, by. advancing towards the regi ments uncovered, indicating at the same time his approval of their behaviour. The review then ended, The Royal Dukes left the ground, and the Prince returned to town in •his carriage. The wind blew rather strong, and the day was unPleasant at inter vals, consequently the bpeEtarors were not so nu merons as they might have been had the weather proved propitions,'. -No accident of consequence hap pened. The alterations in Covent-Garden Theatre are making with the greatest rapidity. The difficulty of hearing the perrortneis, which was complained of, will be removed, the fieorings are all to be taken up; and, what is teehni, ally termed plugged, or made solid between the rafts.. Tho omissi o n o r t hi s precaution' as first is - 3 posed to have caused the defect complained of. AGRICULTURE, MONTHLY REVORt i OR ItILY: The Wheat crops, in all the principal Corn DiS triEts have improved far beyond the warmest expec tations; fortunately less mildew has prevailed, than was almost ever known amongst these plants ; and the ear bas set so kindly in general, as' to promise an ample compensation for the apparent defeCt in the scantiness of straw. The heavy rains at the close of the month will, itjs' feared, prove injurious to the corn on the hilly countries. Pease aro, gene rally good, but the Beans have sulFred matetially from the collier. The Otis •and Barleys ih most countries are expected to turn out a fair average crop. Although the first sowings of Turnips ge nerally failed,' all the subsequent ones have plant.; ed well, particularly the drilled Swedes, which are always. found the surest produce. The Grass • Lands have benefited so much by the rains, that a great extent of them are shut out in Many parts -fair a second mowing, with' a, prospect of an.abundant swath. Potatoes are expeCted to turn out the largest produce that has been known for many years. 'The Hop Plantations have failed universally, from the heavy dew, and the increase of vermin, which are its destruatte produce.. The Meat Markets hold their high prices. Lean. Stock of most kind's has had fi fall, except the Spanish Sheen, which have so much re7ov&:rei from their late depreciation, that the best. blooded Merinos, both ewes and tups; fetch higher prices than ever, as was exemplified at the King's recent sale at Kew, where some. tops reached as high as 130 guineas, and foll-inonthed, Negrette ewes 73 'guineas per' . head. The Wool Market is dull even tor •the - finest fleeces; 'Anglo Merino not reaching more than Gs'. and 'Southdown 3s. per lb. For long fleece:; there is scarcely any demand. . , POLICE. Gu iLn it A LL.-Mrs. Rachael .11P Milian, the spouse of an 'Hibernian' carpentor,, yesterday exhibited against her husband charges of frequent battery and outrage, which she sustained by,a considerable share of voluble eloquence. Thin - loreimmediate cause or appeal °centred o n Su n d a y night. This discor dant pair have, for some years kept two houses in the vicinity of Fetter-lane, well stowed with lodgers. The husband had some time since presented his 7i6 with a srrwll watch, as a token of InS affection. For . wine cause, which did not appear, he came on Sun day evening to demand the restotation of this The lady was ti_ 01 :dressed in white muslin, and a fashionable straw bonnet, for an evening's prome 7 oaile ; and conceiving . her tithe-keeper too. impor tant a part of' her chess to be surrenderedat that jundure,. refused to. givc it - up. 'Refusal tended to render dernan'd more peremptory.", and the hosband.insisted 'on having the watch—or else warm debate' ensued ; and t he blisiaeSs of argument ant 'an4wer, reply and rejoinder, was carried ott fOr some tune with• increa.ing brat. At length the husband, findtog himself no twitch for his, yoke.; felhsw iri elovence„ ;bought it m'gi t serve his 4, t. suit t i c acl t r i i n to the word, and the word to th- acti;" and suspecting the smartness of her dress boded nothing favourable to the fidelity of her conjugal aeuchm-nts, he laid violent hands on her bonnet and snow-w bite robes, and sacrificed both to his fury. The lady produced the fragments, in evidence of the fad, adding, that lie had repeatedly agreed to part from her, and 'allow her "a separate Inuiniertanre,-" but as often broke his word ; and she now claimedthe performance of his promise in a formal separation. This demand was accompanied by a long detail of black eyes and rib-roastingi; conferred on her by her cruel yoke-fellow. The defendant now spoke in hislurn, said he had been married to this woman twenty-five years, and bitterly complained of her extravagance and infideli- - ty : that-she ran him in debt in the neighbourhood,• borrowed money from his lodgers, which he was obliged tb allow_in their rent; and, iii short, that - she "" confusticated . every penny he could rap or run ;" that she was a very. bad woman ; for while he was industering earl and lateto get the better of poverty, she was spending his property with oiler men ; and that one 'morning after be went to work lie made a short turn upon her unawares, and found her locked up in his room, and she refused him at:l 7 - mittanoe.; that he got in at the window and puled a man tram under her bed ; that for four years to gether she frequented a noted 'receiving house in Holborn ; that one night last week, she went to - Vauxhall against his consent, and staid out . all night; that when he went home on Sunday evening, and Zavir her dressed in her Walchereen bonne', hc suSpect ed it was for DO good, and he was provoked to tear it; that he was willing to do any illuij‘ in his' power to get rid of her, and now offered her an al, lowance of los. per week, which was one-third of his earnings. _ _ 'These iiroposals, however, the lady did not think sufficiently advantageous ; for although divorce 'and alimony formed a principal part of her. objeat, yet a divorce'a mensa et Moro did nOt suit her purpose'; for she insisted on a moiety of his beds and tat/es, thinking it but just, that i 1 he divorced her, must also divorceonc hallo( his household fortuture to her use, tbr ever. ' This point, was discussed Oa some time with diplomatic addre,i on both sides and at:length, the husband profe3sing himself dk posed to sign any terms, upon the basis of a rid dance from his yoke-mate; pgreed: to give her onv half of ,his fui niture, and to get. quit of her. Not content with this.arlicle of the treaty, the lady still acting on the uti jiossidetis, wanted to have one of his two ,houses, with the proposedpin , money, and to saddle her husband . with the costs of suit, and compensations to the watchmen whointertered dur ing the last evening's quarrel. But these conditions were deemed inadmissible by her, linsband ; and every thing woukt have relapsed into the status' quo, had not the worthy Magistrate succeeded in advising the lady to be content with what she had obtained, and both parties went away seetninglT.Well ,satis fied with the issue of the negociation.

In considera ion of lt,s youth and conneaions (he .is only 19, states himself to be the son of a clergyman, and to have held a commission in the Militia), Lieut. Webster declined prosecuting. Yesterday afternoon as a Min of the name of Freshwater, a labourer in the einPloy of _Williams, Burford, and Co. was viewing some old houses that. were pulling down near,the turnpike, at Stratford, ;n Essex, he was desired by the workmen to get out of the way f the words were hardly uttered, when the front of the houses fell with a most tremendous crash, and baried the unfortunate m3n in the ruins. He was itnntedizuely dug out a mo,t shocking spec tacle: ; his neck was dislocated, both his thighs and legs I .roken, and likewise one of his arms. During the fire on Sunday morning,Fleet-streef exhibited a most distressing scene; the inhabitants of Crown-cOurt and Hanging-sword-alley being chiefly room-keepers, they brought their little fur niture into the street, where they were pil e d in se parate lots. The distress of the women and. their' children appeared beyond de,cription—the affrighted infants clinging to their mothers for that proteaion they theinselves were soma) in need of ;•one poor' funily'consisted of a widow; and two chiliren, their whole furniture did not appear,to be worth.sl. and on it lay . a coffin containing the;eorpse of a feMale infant, which was to hive been interred ye3terday.: It is said "that there had n o t b een e i t h er f i re or c,i tidle in the building since the Printers left off working-by candle-41ft in March ht t; and" that Mr. GILLETT, accompanied, by his': sons, SW' that every thingwa,.i safe before he retired: to bed on • "Saturday night.
